Although the worst seawall damage was felt between Chillingworth Curve and the old Vanderbilt Estate in Manalapan, many other private oceanfront properties between Palm Beach and Boca Raton experienced damaged walkovers and beach erosion. Palm Beach County estimates storm damage to public property at more than $24 million.
